the channel memory rather than the sampling rate. The number of
samples that are averaged together per data region is calculated using the
equation
This number determines how many samples are averaged together to form
the 16- bit samples that are stored into the channel memories.
To set the desired bits of vertical resolution, see ":ACQuire:HRESolution"
on page 154.
SEGMented In this sampling mode you can view waveform events that are separated
by long periods of time without capturing waveform events that are not of
interest to you.
SEGPdetect Enables Peak Detect Segmented mode.
SEGHres Enables High Resolution Segmented mode.
To set the desired bits of vertical resolution, see ":ACQuire:HRESolution"
on page 154.
Example This example sets the acquisition mode to Real Time Normal.
myScope.WriteString ":ACQuire:MODE RTIMe"
Query :ACQuire:MODE?
The :ACQuire:MODE? query returns the current acquisition sampling mode.
Returned Format
[:ACQuire:MODE] {RTIMe | PDETect | HRESolution | SEGMented}<NL>
Example This example places the current acquisition mode in the string variable,
strMode, then prints the contents of the variable to the computer's screen.
Dim strMode As String ' Dimension variable.
myScope.WriteString ":ACQuire:MODE?"
strMode = myScope.ReadString
Debug.Print strMode
